Today is the second day of my favorite conferences of the year! INJOY Stewardship Solutions has dispatched to attend the Orange and ReThink Leadership Conference in Atlanta, GA. This event contains the most relevant church leadership content I annually receive. It’s just an amazing conference!!
The afternoon’s breakout speakers were Carey Nieuwhof and Brad Lomenick. Their subject was current leadership trends. These two guys are on the cutting edge of leadership and know what they are talking about.
Before getting to their thoughts, the team at INJOY Stewardship wanted you to have a FREE resource. Click HERE or on the image below to download your copy of The Millennial Handbook: 16 Ways To Engage Millennials On Stewardship. Some resources need no explanation!
